Yellow warning of snow and ice

A weather system will cross to the south of the warning area early on Friday.

This will bring rain to many areas but snow is likely over some of the higher ground, such as the Pennines.

Even at lower levels there is a risk that rain may turn to snow before it clears eastwards – but this not happening everywhere.

The snow could be heavy on hills, giving 5 cm or so, but on lower ground temporary accumulations of up to 2 cm seem more likely.

Following clearance at the end of the night, there is an increasing risk of ice forming on untreated surfaces.

The public should be aware of the potential for hazardous driving conditions.

This is a further update to the warning first issued on Tuesday, edging the risk area south again and slightly reducing the expected amounts and impact.
